1. There are none currently |
|
The last one was JC Watts, but he retired in 2002. The only one I can remember before that (other than the Southern ones during reconstruction) is Edward Brooke, who served in the Senate in the 1960's and 1970's.

6. Not enough republicans will vote for them. |
|
You can see in their republican faces that they can't connect. Last night when a couple of black republicans were speaking, they panned to the audience and they did not look enthusiastic.
